i mean, keep in mind, it was risky when obama /romney were in campaign. you had one candidate that was threatening to not continue with the program. so, it was kind of hard to go and apply. you did not know if you could put yourself in the list of legalization and coming out of the shadows and you put your name on the list of deportations. so, number one. number two, i just think that this defer act and the image that we have with the youth and the dreamers, specifically, is definitely going to continue the momentum, not only because of the work that we have done in the past, but because of the expectations that we have from the obama administration to fix the immigration laws once and for all and we do expect that, at this particular time, congress and senators will also follow suit because we are tired of waiting and too much talk has been happening and while our families are suffering, so, this is going to continue. this is a battle that we're going to have. we expect actions from the politicians and this coming year. if not, in 2014, they're going to

president obama or then governor romney. the notion that this country every 12, 14 month is going to have this hostage taking by congress over a debt ceiling is not a way to run, you know, the largest enterprise in the world, the united states government. there's nothing in the constitution that talks about a debt ceiling. this has become kind of in the past a pro forma process that has now turned into a financial armageddon each time it comes about and i do think granting the president these additional rights and then allowing congress with a two-thirds vote to say, hold on here, that might be a more appropriate way regardless of who is the president is. but i don't think yesterday's antics have that much to do with at least the current stage of the boehner/obama discussions. >> let's talk about the current stage.
